She also breaks down why financial pressure across athletic departments could impact Olympic and women’s sports, and what governance changes may be coming.
Plus, Season three of the PWHL opens with two new expansion teams in Seattle and Vancouver. EVP of Hockey Operations Jayna Hefford outlines how the league is balancing rapid growth with long term stability, the challenge posed by Ottawa’s new small arena, and how innovation in league rules aims to boost fan engagement. She also discusses the Olympic year spotlight and why a global approach is key to attracting top talent.
